New Blink1Control v1.94

We just released an update to Blink1Control, our Mac & Windows GUI controller for blink(1). It addresses several long-term issues that we've been fighting. If you use Blink1Control, please upgrade to v1.94. See more about it on this blog post. Or see the github releases page.

All future versions will live at that URL too, so as we make update we'll put them there.

Like the OS X version, Blink1Control normally lives in your system tray quietly doing its thing. Right-click to see some status, or double-click to bring up its main window. It also supports the Blink1Control URL API. Note that Blink1Control for Windows does require the .NET Framework 4.5, a free download from Microsoft. (We're looking into how to relax that constraint)

As we've been using blink(1) with IFTTT for a few weeks now, we've noticed our initial configuration UI in Blink1Control for connecting the two could use some work. If you know a good HTML designer/programmer who understands MVC and is a fan of frameworks like Ember and Backbone, please have them contact us at blink1 at thingm.com; we would love to hire them.

In other ways of connecting blink(1)s in Windows and other OSes, our GetSatisfaction forum has seen some neat community additions, like:
